Food was served hot and very generously portioned, which is something I've seen in decline at other locations. It was a little unkept in the dining room and it smelled like dirty mop water. We still enjoyed our dinner because it was delicious. One employee came out and talked football with my husband and was very friendly. That was nice because with the option to order at the screens, there was limited interaction with employees.

We don't come in all the time, but it's a nice change from burgers and pizza, it's also the only place left where you can get a Chicago dog as far as I know. The food is good, very affordable, friendly staff, and a fun, nostalgic atmosphere.

The gentle man who held the door open and wiping tables down, helped me when the order machine was wrong. He was hilarious and helpful and made our visit very enjoyable. I wish I got his name! It was Saturday 9/5 afternoon.
